[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

After seeing off Jean and Darcy, who hesitated to speak, Manli went back to her room.

Too many things happened today, so she just wanted to be alone for a while, even if she didn't want to think about anything, she just wanted to be quiet.

It's a pity that this wish can only be a luxury for her at the moment.

Not long after the door closed, before she even had time to change her clothes, she heard the knock on the door again.

Sighing silently, he opened the door.

Standing directly opposite the door were Jane and Elizabeth.

However, in every corner behind them, one could still vaguely see a few pairs of eyes watching.

Needless to say, these two were sent by the mother and sisters as representatives.

He moved his body aside to make room for the two sisters to come in.

After closing the door again, Man Li fell onto the bed without a gesture, and cried out plaintively: "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask, but if I don't want to say it, don't expect me to answer it."

In one sentence, Jane and Elizabeth looked at each other, and at the same time saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"You don't have to worry about Collins. Mr. Darcy has taken care of it. He promised to put in a good word for Collins at Mrs. de Bourgh's, and the fellow was gone from all his illnesses at once, except not immediately. Jump up and bow down to Mr Darcy," said Elizabeth first.

There was a smile in her voice, but the words were full of disdain.

Manli nodded, but didn't respond.

It was to be expected, she had thought of it long ago.

The relationship between Mr. Darcy and Mrs. De Bourgh is placed there. He was originally the object of Collins' kneeling and licking.

Not to mention that he promised those things, even if he didn't say anything, Collins would definitely not dare to fart in front of him.

And Gene, after Collins learned about his identity, must have been even more afraid to speak up.

Manli knew that the reason why Mr. Darcy did this was to help her family to finish!

After all, for ordinary people like them, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Even if they weren't afraid of Collins, wouldn't it be disgusting if that person really wanted to play tricks on his family behind his back?

This is a real understanding person who knows how to be considerate of the difficulties of others.

It's no wonder that only he can be the real hero in the original book.

Manli silently gave Mr. Darcy a thumbs up in her heart.

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered something, she couldn't help but raised her head, looked at Elizabeth and asked, "Did Mr. Darcy say what they are here for today?"

Elizabeth shook her head, with a bit of confusion in her tone: "I don't know either. I tried to ask just now, but Mr. Darcy didn't say anything, he just said that it's okay to come and visit. But on this rainy day... ..."

Elizabeth looked out the window, looking at the rain that was falling a little harder, quite inexplicably.

Jane next to her secretly laughed.

It's just that she didn't mean to let the two younger sisters see it, she turned her head slightly to one side, and clenched one hand into a fist, putting it next to her mouth to cover it up.

It's a pity that from Manli's perspective, she can see it very clearly.

"Jane, what are you hiding from us?" She pointed out unceremoniously.

These two people can't wait to stay in their own room every day, prying out all the things they think in their heads. Manli doesn't think it is necessary to help Jane cover up.

Jane glared at her: "You are the only one with sharp eyes!"

Manli chuckled, but did not refute.

And this aroused Elizabeth's interest even more. She stretched out her hand and pushed the elder sister's shoulder: "What do you know, tell me quickly and listen, what's the point?"

Jane was angry and funny and slapped Elizabeth's hand backhand: "You gossip! Okay, this is what you asked, who will be ashamed later!"

"My sisters are just chatting, what's there to be ashamed of?" Elizabeth said with a nonchalant expression.

After finishing speaking, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and two small flames shot out of her eyes: "Do you know some gossip about Manli? Come on, tell me!"

Jane finally couldn't help laughing.

It took a while for her to put away her smile, looked at Elizabeth and said jokingly, "I really don't know the gossip about Manli, but I have a gossip about you, do you want to listen to it?"

Elizabeth was stunned: "About me? What gossip do I have?"

Manli suddenly regained her spirits.

She sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and looked at Jane with vigor: "Sister, tell me quickly! I want to listen!"

Elizabeth came to her senses at this moment. Although she didn't know what Jane was going to say, she obviously felt something was wrong.She reached out to stop Jane, but this time Jane didn't give her face.

"I received Mr. Bingley's letter yesterday. He hinted at the end that a certain gentleman came back to our house today to propose to one of my sisters..."

"That's Manli! Didn't we all hear that Mr. Jean proposed to Manli today?" Elizabeth said first.

Jane glanced at her, and drew out a long tone with a smile: "But, Mr. Bingley told me, the gentleman who is going to propose to my sister is... Darcy."

Elizabeth blushed suddenly.

However, Jane didn't show consideration for her at all, and continued to fill in the gun: "But it is Mr. Jean who proposed to Manli today, does that mean that I have another sister who will soon be killed by someone else?" Ask to marry, will get married soon?"

Her voice fell, Elizabeth jumped up from her chair as if she was being burned, and glared at Jane with a blushing face: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you make fun of your younger sister like this? She looks like a big sister Is it? I ignore you!"

After finishing speaking, he left the two of them behind and fled through the door without hesitation.

Manli couldn't help laughing with Jane.

But after laughing, she couldn't help feeling annoyed again.

It seems that today it is because of me that I interfered with the good affairs of Mr. Darcy and the second sister.

If there is no previous one, now, as the eldest sister said, can everyone celebrate that the good things between the second sister and Mr. Darcy are approaching?

Seeing her bitter expression, Jane could naturally see what she was thinking.

She patted Manli on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't think too much, I was just joking. Lizzy is shy, but she won't agree to Mr. Darcy."

Manli panicked all of a sudden!

"Why?" She suddenly became anxious: "Mr. Darcy is so nice! You must not preconceive it, because when you hear my rejection of Mr. Jean, you force yourself! That's completely different!"

If because of her actions, she really lost those two brothers-in-law... Then, Manli felt that she was no different from the eternal sinner.

Seeing that Manli was so anxious that the tip of her nose was sweating, Jane couldn't help being a little amused: "Lizzy is not in a hurry, why are you so anxious? What do you mean you can't put yourself on yourself? Aren't we sisters? You think it's important to get along well, don't we? Do you think the same? Speaking of which, we sisters are not as smart or as good as you, and if we don’t move closer to you, do we still want to pretend to be smart and focus on getting into a rich family? You won’t lie to us.”

Jane's tone was firm, and she looked at Manli with full trust.

But Manli was completely panicked.

It's over, it's over, the butterfly's wings are working.

She made things like this, and led the sisters astray...

The plot master will slap her to death, right?

"No, Jane, it's not what you think it is. Both Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy are different from Jean. You can't compare me. I didn't agree with Mr. Jean because of my inappropriate character... "

"I didn't agree to Bingley. Manli didn't agree to Darcy because of her inappropriate character." Jane interrupted Manli calmly.

But she was dumbfounded!

She grabbed Jane's hand in a panic: "Mr. Bingley also proposed to you?"

A blush appeared on Jane's face, and she nodded without concealing it.

"...Then, you refused?" Manli felt that the end of her voice trembled a little.

"Yeah." Jane nodded again.

Man Li suddenly sat back on the bed, only to feel that a big hammer was hitting her head hard, smashing her reason and thinking to pieces.

It made her unable to think at all.

But Jane reached out to hold her at this time, and comforted her: "I said, don't think too much. Mr. Bingley proposed to me in the letter yesterday, and I refused that day. At that time, Darcy and Ji Mr. En hasn't come yet, and you haven't had time to reject Mr. Jean. So it has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to blame yourself for this. "

"Mr. Bingley proposed to you in the letter?" Manli raised her head and looked at Jane in confusion, feeling that everything was different from the original book.

Jane nodded: "Bingley went out of town for business and couldn't come back. He said he didn't want Darcy to take the lead, so he proposed to me in the letter now, and he said he would come to the door in person when he came back."

Speaking of this, she shook her head funny again: "This kind of thing also has to be arranged on a first-come, first-served basis? You have to be the first... Then let him receive the rejection message first."

Manli: "..."

Suddenly, I feel that this eldest sister is a bit rigid!

She carefully smoothed things over for Bingley: "Sister, are you being a little harsh? Maybe Mr. Bingley just can't wait and wants to express his love to you earlier?"

"But I only saw childishness and contempt in that letter."

Jane looked into Manli's eyes again: "Perhaps in the eyes of these gentlemen, being able to propose to a girl like us who has no dowry and whose family is not decent enough is enough to give us dignity. We will definitely be ecstatic, and then Immediately agree, there is no possibility of failure at all. That's why they will naturally and unnaturally bring out a bit of contempt, and will use a superior and rewarding attitude. But, why? Why do we have to agree? Can we really never be happy without them?"
